This is the time of year when we all start to think of taxes.
Actually, I started long ago -- for the past several years I have
been a tax preparer AND tax course instructor for H & R Block --
a second job.  I would be glad to answer questions of a general
nature to the net, or to specific questions via e-mail.  Stick to
the federal taxes only -- I know nothing about Canadian taxes
or about most state tax returns.  Ask the questions to me
directly and ask for a posted answer if you feel it is of
general interest.

Now, a couple of hints:

Don't overlook income averaging (Sch. G).  You must have supported
yourself (not claimed on your parents' return) for 1984, 83, and 82.
Same for your spouse if married.  Worth looking into.

Also, did you buy a NEW (not used) diesel powered car in 1985?? If so,
there is a credit for it.  Get the long form (1040) and a Form 4136
to claim the diesel credit.  Also applies to vans and pickups for
personal use.

Doing your own taxes and need info?? Get Publication 17 from the IRS
by far the best available (and fairly readable, too).  Also, bookstores
have a book (yellow cover) by J.K. Lasser.  It's good.  Avoid the H & R
Block book -- just enough info to wet your appetite to get you
into one of our offices.

Good Luck!!
